Street Fighter V
For the past year, Capcom has been
drip-feeding us information about this
upcoming instalment in its frankly
legendary fighting game series. With
fifteen of the sixteen launch characters now set in
stone and a worldwide release date of February 13,
2016 on the horizon, it’s time to check in again with
the latest build of Street Fighter V.
One of the main decisions made during
development was that every character
had to be unique to play – no more Ryu/
Ken quasi-palette switches this time
around. Leaving out popular characters
such as Guile and Akuma for series ‘deep
cuts’ like Karin and R. Mika has made for a
much more varied roster, where each
character stands out with their own
unique pros and cons. Hell, even Ken –
forever a slightly different version of Ryu
– has been given a complete overhaul.
He’s now an entirely new character to play,
requiring a completely different set of
skills to master. Two of the original ‘World
Warriors’ have recently joined the cast:
Russian wrestling beast Zangief and
tricky, fire-breathing Yoga master
Dhalsim, alongside new fighter Laura, the
Brazilian grappling ace.
Capcom has been keen to point out
that the ruthless timing of combos that
Street Fighter IV required has been
relaxed a bit – no more of those pesky
‘one frame’ links. This means players are
going to be able to do some of the more
impressive stuff with a bit less practice,
ensuring that the real meat of the game
won’t be endless, repetitive training mode
sessions, but more of the meta-Street
Fighter game. Namely, figuring out how to
fight specific characters with yours, and
what moves can be punished with your
special moves. This will allow players to
concentrate more on reacting to what
their opponent is doing, rather than
worrying whether or not they actually
have the ability to do what they want to do.
Another interesting aspect is the
Capcom Fighters Network, a madly indepth
stat-tracking and social platform set
to be a big part of Capcom’s commitment
to the Street Fighter esports scene. You
can see stats detailing extremely specific
aspects of your game – such as how
many hadokens you do per match, or
something – and track other players,
including those you deem your rivals.
Street Fighter V is going to be a fresh
start for experts and beginners alike, so it
makes sense that the barrier to entry has
been lowered. But Capcom has done so
without sacrificing the depth and balance
that has made the series the number one
fighting game for so long. Esports is such
a big deal now, there’s never been a better
time for a new Street Fighter – and it looks
like the original competitive scrapper is
going to take its place at the top of the
heap come release.
